Our extended family of 9 had a great time staying here - lots of bedrooms, generous kitchen and dining area, the pool and hot tub were a hit every day, great TV room for movies and videogames for the older kids, younger kids had a great time at the beach across the street. The house is really nice. Just a really great spot for a getaway to Shawnigan.
So many amenities, it was great! Wood burning sauna was awesome, the gym and pool were also great! The lake was fun too! We brought our boat, and lots of fish in the lake too! We had a great time!
Perfect stay for our return to Vancouver Island.
There were so many thoughtfully curated areas to rest and relax. Our favourite spot was the beautiful lighted fire pit at night.
The children loved swimming in the pool and the loungers were the perfect place for the adults to unwind and take summer in.
The house was very well stocked with dishes and towels. And the access to lake with dock provided us with great memories.
We fully enjoyed the accommodations. The owner was very prompt and responsive to the couple of issues we had. Unfortunately the housecleaners were met withpoor tenets prior to our stay and missed a couple things but nothing major.
We had an absolute blast at this home, everything we needed was a short walk away, beach was across the street and the views just make this place even better. We spent most of our days at property in the pool. The host was very effective in her communication.
It was perfect for for our size of family. Would love to come back next year.
We had a wonderful stay at this place. It is super clean with beautiful furniture. The house is well equipped with everything we needed….and more! The beds were very comfortable. We truly enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The location of the property is great with a view of the lake and wonderful hiking places close by. It feels very private as you don’t see any neighbor when using the patio. April and David were super helpful and were always answering our questions promptly. I highly recommend this place. It is a gem!!!
Our family really enjoyed our stay here and its proximity to Victoria allowed us to host an Easter gathering with extended family. We appreciated the location and the added amenities such as hot tub, gym, and 4 kayaks. (Would be nice if the local bike shop would make bike rentals available - that was the only thing missing.) Very nicely decorated. The road out front is busy, but we were having too much fun to notice. Host was quick to respond to questions/issues. Thank you! P.S. The ad didn't mention it, but the cupboards/fridge had a good variety of spices/condiments, so wait to shop for any of that until after you arrive.
Beautiful newly reno’d house with EVERY possible amenity. Extremely well stocked and highly responsive hosts. Amazing location across from a public beach and a private dock (complete with seating and four kayaks). Next door to bakery/convenience store and near a “rail trail” walking path into little town area (less than 10 minutes on foot). Quality furnishings and so much to do - the pool was fantastic for kids (heated with shallow, medium and deep levels) and the hot tub was great in the evenings. We didn’t even find the time to use the fire pit or the sauna, but the younger kids enjoyed the sand area and the adults got a couple workouts in at the little gym by the pool. The nearby (10 min drive) trestle walk was also a hit. Great family vacation spot!
Our family lives on Vancouver Island and we have been doing local getaways for a week or so the last several years. This year we decided to try Shawnigan Lake area and we were not disappointed.
The place is well equipped for large groups including a commercial size fridge and freezer, a large cooking area and large dining table. There is also plenty of room for large families both upstairs in the main area and downstairs in the den/theatre room. The theatre room has a huge TV and feels like your at the movies. The place also has a hot tub, wood fired sauna, pool, gym and private dock across the road. Everything was clean, organized and felt very welcoming. Also very cool furniture that are conversation pieces.
We absolutely loved the place and it's the best place we've stayed at to date. Can't recommend enough.
Thanks again April for making it a great stay.
Spectacular property!! Private resort feel at cozy family home!
We stayed here as a multi-generational family. Everyone was comfortable and had a really great time. The property is stunning. There is a clear view of the lake from the main living area and kitchen and the outdoor pool and patio. It feels like you are at your own private resort. Coffee at the fire table overlooking the lake in the mornings. Pool in the heat of the afternoon. Hot tub in the evening. Lunch at the large outdoor table. Dinner at the large indoor table. We had 8 people and tons of space. The highlight of the day was sitting around the fire pit under the string lights - the sand and natural wall feature made it feel as though you were sitting on a forested beach. We could not use the sauna due to a fire ban however it was still cozy to sit in and enjoy that sauna vibe. Having access to the kayaks and dock added that ‘at-the-lake’ feel. We didn’t swim in the lake but it would have been a short walk to access the public beach. We also enjoyed the block rocker music system - great sound and portable. House was well-stocked with plenty of dishes and two dishwashers - we never ran out of anything. Overall, the property has been well thought out and designed for relaxation and fun. Hosts were responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend this property!!!
